That Favorite Blog Post Meme

Ooooh, I've been tagged for a meme! I'm so excited! :)

But geez, my favorite blog post of all time...how am I supposed to narrow it down to one? And it's not just the fact that my memory isn't what it used to be, and it's not just that there are so many good ones, it's that it's so hard to define what might make a post a "favorite."

Some posts, I like because they contain intelligent, incisive commentary. They make me think. Example: Anxiety, the Secret Identity, and the Ten Basic Superhero Plots at A Trout in the Milk.

Some posts, I like because they get me to look at things differently, seeing social and cultural issues within comics. Example:Pardon my Language at Pretty, Fizzy Paradise.

Some posts, I like because they inform me about things I didn't know, bits of comic history and so forth. Example: Stan's vs. Jack's Sue Storm at Digital Eraser.

Some posts, I like because they push my nostalgia button--they remind me about something once dear to me that I hadn't thought about in years. Example: this bit of Teen Titans history at Comics Ate My Brain.

Some posts, I like because they're shamelessly opinionated, which is a beautiful thing. Example: On Harsh Criticism at Written World.

And some posts I like because they're just damn entertaining. Example: The War on Beards at Ye Olde Comick Booke Blogge.

But if I must choose just one, and apparently I must :). I'm going to go with this one: Sidekicks Roasting on an Open Fire at Comic Coverage. Humor and history all in one.
